Reportstack has announced a new market research publication on Global Automotive Bumpers Market 2014-2018. The following companies are the key players in the Global Automotive Bumpers Market: Compagnie Plastic Omnium SA, Faurecia SA, Futaba Industrial Co. Ltd., Magna International Inc., and Toyoda Gosei Co. Ltd. “A major trend being witnessed in the Global Automotive Bumpers market is the increasing preference for plastic bumpers over traditional metal ones. Metal bumpers were extremely popular in the past as they are very sturdy and durable. However, automobile manufacturers currently prefer using plastic bumpers as they can be used to increase the aesthetic appeal of an automobile. Also, plastic bumpers have an additional structure embedded within them. This structure contains foam energy absorbers which facilitate better protection for the automobile. It is expected that these features will increase the use of plastic bumpers significantly in the coming years.”

According to the report, the main factor driving the use of bumpers across all geographies is the fact that they provide improved safety for the driver and passengers. Bumpers help in minimizing the impact of an accident and thereby improve the safety of occupants. Further, the report states that the major challenge faced by the market is the inefficiency of bumpers. There are many instances where the bumpers do not fit correctly with the automobile geometry and tend not to stay engaged in the required position. This can be a major issue during collisions as the main purpose of the bumpers is not achieved.
